   It is unlawful for any person to operate or maintain, or cause or permit to be operated or maintained, any trailer park unless there is a caretaker in the park at all times.

   B.   No trailer park shall contain an overall density of more than eighteen trailer sites per acre.
   C.   Each trailer site shall have an area of at least one thousand eight hundred square feet with a minimum frontage width of thirty-five feet facing on a roadway. Any trailer site, such as a cul-de-sac lot, unable to meet the minimum frontage requirement, but having the one thousand eight hundred square foot area may have less than the minimum frontage if the building inspector determines the conditions to justify it. The frontage of cul-de-sac lots shall be measured at the building setback line.

   B.   No trailer coach and no building or structure shall be located within a trailer park nearer than five feet from the side and rear property lines or side and rear trailer site lot lines; provided, however, that where trailers are parked rear-to-rear, the minimum rear setback shall be four feet.
(Prior code § 17.16.070 (Ord. 503 § 7.0, 1961))

   C.   To prevent obstruction of natural light and ventilation no awning, building, windbreak, or combination thereof, shall be erected, placed, or maintained on more than one side or one end of any trailer coach in a trailer park.

   C.   All roadways shall be surfaced with a minimum of two-inch thick asphalt, concrete, plant mix, or other approved materials.
